starting to get might p!ssed off

[helms]

For the second time in a week now my intake (i think its the intake pipe (that big silver pipe that runs over the top of the engine) has popped out of the rubber joint connecting it to the turbo (at the back of the engine)
Only this time it popped out completely and was a REAL bitch to push back in,
Managed to get it back in with some help.
But now my engine warning lamp on my dash is on.
When the pipe cam out, car was stalling and all sorts, which it didnt do last time, but last time it was not all the way out.

Any1 any ideas on why this keeps popping out? have i got a crappy clip perhaps?or is my engine flexing to much on its mounts?

Any ideas? As im annoid and thinking of going back to Nat Asp. Far less bloody issues.

i know buddy, but i didnt wanna bother u with it as thought u may be out.

Of course if your not busy, and fancy popping down. As always i'd be muchos gratefull my friend.

Get a decent silicone hose for it and a proper clamp/jubilee.

 

[helms]

is it fairly common then? as i had the car for several months with no issues.

What about this engine light? also my Traction control light is on and wont go off...

Get it on vag-com to clear the faults, I had the same problem a couple of times when i had my k03s put on a jubilee clip sorted it and hasnt popped off since. get 2 and do top and bottom just to make sure

is this the reason why you didnt turn up to the JKM RR day? if it is myself alone could of told you in 2 seconds flat and i expect JKM would have sold/gave you a couple of clips

IIRC Forge do a replacement silicone part for around £40, then as said get your self a decent clamp (mickalor/jubilee etc) and your away.

You want a 54mm-48mm reducer from forge, and some jubilee clamps, make sure you leave a bit of a gap above the edge of the pipe so the clamps can grip correctly.

 

[Beaker™]

Thats the one

 

[PhilW]

They dont list a 54-48 on the website.

54-51 is there tho.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

you'd have to contact them, iirc its on the piece of paper but not on the website, theyre definately the dimensions.

thanks chaps thats wicked to know.
Will have to get some decent clips ordered and a better bit of pipe.

Also, sorry Supra Dupa Cupra, but I think u got me mixed up with some1 else. i was too busy to have made it to the rolling road.
Car needs to go back to JBS anyway jst for a check up, its not quite boosting right, but still pulls like a train.

Thanks for your help every1.

Also had a bit of a thought here, as I dont have either the KO3 or KO3s, ive got the KO40001 turbo...
Would this make a difference does anyone think?
